T's Birthday is June 6th

Thanks Sweetie! I knew I had it somewhere. Thanks for saving my sanity!

 

[mlill]

So, I'm standing here, vaccuming my house, thinking about how I'm going to score an Illuminations cruise, right? I did everything Lover and the DIS told me to do. Much like the CRT reservation... start calling early... press 2, then press 1... yada, yada, yada. I was remembering how someone had called later in the day as people book cruises and cancel them everyday.
On a whim, if you will I called WDW and I spoke to the nicest person. I asked for a specialty cruise for August 24th. and guess what????? They had 1 left.

I scored an Illuminations Cruise, BAYBEE!!!!!


Not our first choice date, but I'll take it!!!! Now the Enabler is laughing at me because I got up so early and ended up scoring a cruise later in the morning. Glad someone finds humor in my pain!

Just a quick post to tell you Congrats on finally getting the cruise!!! You guys are gonna love it! WooHoo!

-Michelle

P.S. Happy early Birthday! I'm gonna be out of town this week, so I'll miss it! I hope you have a great birthday!!!

What kinda Crocs didya get????

Ok, I got Maddie Fushia MJ's and Lime Athens. Evan got Army/Yellow scutes.

I'm kinda feeling the same way. At first I thought about how you still have 2 whole months and then I thought, "Hey, it's not my money!"

2 whole months.... that'll go by fast. 78 days to be exact!

Now that's stress! Swimsuit shopping in June!

That is stress!!! You could always order one online at Landsend or something, no?

What, you paid RETAIL?!!!!

Shhhhh!!! Just the sound of that makes me shudder!!

You crack me up I know I probably have but have I told you that crocs sell over here for £30 that is $60 So you probably got off lightly

OMG! $60??? I'd wait until you land at MCO, there's a CROCS store in the airport. The retail prices for the shoes were $24.95. I just noticed the price at shoebuy is actually more at $28.95, but you can use the coupon and you get free shipping. Oh well!

Hey Tracy
Dont worry your secret is safe here
Sometimes we just get a little crazy and do some stuff we ordinarily wouldnt do, it happens (alot at my house).

Thanks, T! I figure all my bargain shopping will compensate for my little splurges. I just hate to pay retail for anything!

Ya know what... Im sure you even have something stashed away somewhere that was a great bargain and you can whip that out..whaaaaalaaaaa nothing to feel bad about.

Ahhhh... you know me well!

DS4 feet grow so quicky we outgrow several pairs a season. I went through 7 pairs not including winter snow boots this winter.These kiddies are growin like weeds.

Maddie grows out of shoes faster than clothes and Evan is at that age where he needs a bigger size clothes/shoes every 6 months!

Don't you have a birthday this month too? I HAD the date somewhere...now I can't find it. I'm still looking though. Or you could just tell me and make it easy on me.

Yes, actually I do. Oh, and so does Waldo!! Mine is the 6th and his is the 7th. We'll be celebrating at Disneyland on Wednesday! I made a dining ressie for Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast and then we'll hit the park for the day.

WOW - you paid retail. Shocking! I may be right there with ya Sista...Michael's are already getting too small...
Wow - first you guessed wrong...WAY wrong on our little trivia question and now this...what's going on????

I know!! I need a vacation..... like now!

Ok, DLMama..........I have seen your postings on all these other trippies & find you quite funny.
I finally read Where's Waldo (I know I am sooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyy late to that party) but wanted you to know I thought it was GREAT. Love your Dad & his wanderings.

I am joining in here, but fear I will never have the time to read 70 pages of back story on this one, but want to make sure I am "here for the party."

(Raising my right hand, whilst holding a lime green MHPC)
So, here's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me Mickey.

I went to the CROCS website and bought 3 pair.

At full price!

With shipping charges!

Well, doctors, chiropodists and podiatrists all agree that young children need comfy proper-fitting footwear so you're just being a responsible parent really. Let's call it Fuzzy Disney Parenting.

Hi Melanie

Admit it girl, 'twas the mention of 'breasticles' that drew you in.

Glad you're here. Tracy is truly hilarious and Waldo is THE MAN.

A Lesson in Waldoism

It’s a terrible thing, Waldoism. I wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy. It’s a complicated disease, and is incurable. My name is Tracy, and my father has Waldoism. He’s currently in the denial stage in his mind, he believes he is not wandering, he is merely exploring and he knows where we all are, so he is not “technically” lost. He’s already been warned that this time, we will not spend time looking for him. I have created an itinerary showing approx. where we will be at what time of the day on what day of the week. Should Waldo wander, and cannot locate the rest of the group he should do the following:
A)Use your CELL PHONE, it’s that mini telephone looking contraption attached to your belt, (which by the way, is not an accessory, Waldo!) to contact one of the 4 us who will be assigned to “Waldo Watch” as explain in the vacation handbook.
B)Check your itinerary. If today is Wednesday, August 23rd and it’s roughly 12:30 PM, we are at Alfredo’s in the Italy Pavilion having lunch please join us.
C)Leave wherever you are, go back to the Port Orleans French Quarter and wait for the rest of your party to return to said resort.

Included in our itinerary will be the “Waldo Watch” assignments. Each day, one adult from our group with the exception of “The Enabler”, will be assigned to keep an eye on Waldo. This person will be responsible to hit the kill switch on his little ECV, should Waldo try to escape. We have not told Waldo about “Waldo Watch” assignments, as he may try devising plans to create diversions throwing off the Waldo keeper of the day and foiling our plan. We have to be creative, ingenious and stay one step ahead of Waldo.
So I’ve made my list, let’s check it once.

Resort booked? Check!
Flights booked? Check!
ADR’s made? Check!
Itinerary complete? Check!
Transportation to LAX? Doh!!! Will have to work on that, soonish


Up Next: THE CONSPIRACY THERORY. THERE GOES MY DISNEY FUND.

Ok, I know this was forever ago, but I am using your index on page 1 (thank you Tracy) to get up to speed on this......I know, I know, I am missing lots of fun chitty chatty stuff....but 70 pages sheesh.
